Albert Dock & Salthouse Dock looking festive last night, and thankfully calm! George's Dock Building looking well lit up in red!

The public has not agreed to this!

I wonder if anyone else sings "Zalando!"* to the tune of "Orlando!" from the Book of Mormon. *a German outlet chain like TK Maxx, although it's also here. Few apart from @mssjones.bsky.social and @frescoleraye.bsky.social could tell you, without searching, why it's "TK" on this side of the Atlantic.

Impeachment isn’t an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent. Impeach, convict, remove. And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo54...

£25bn of imagined savings, real-world cruelty and mathematics that should come with a trigger warning.

Why does a massive US private healthcare company own 2 NHS PFI projects?🚨🚨🚨

Lovely sky over Birkenhead and Liverpool tonight

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers. And after tens of thousands of young Americans were killed in Vietnam. And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate. Today it roars once more — at the tyrant in the Oval Office.

Kristi Noem is mad they wouldn’t let her in to use the restroom in Illinois today.

Americans want it, but Congressional Republicans and Donald Trump don’t. Why? So Trump can continue his vendetta campaign across the country by withholding already approved funds for critical infrastructure and energy projects and firing thousands of hard working Americans from their jobs.

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight. But consider this... Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending. Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Like the pharmaceuticals sector needs our help to drive their multibillion dollar profits ever higher. With patent monopolies, evergreening and govt funded research... the sector has got it made. Fat profits from people being sick, and "We want more" says Ricks. Grotesque on.ft.com/4pFSudK

Well done Guardian...exactly right. We must stop the slide into despotism. Look at the bloody tan on Trump - the 2nd President of colour. He is ridiculous www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

Reform led Nottinghamshire Council has blacklisted a local paper for asking questions about what councillors were doing. Farage says he welcomes free speech, that should apply to freedom of the press too. Sign the petition to get them to reverse the decision: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...

My thoughts on what’s going on in Los Angeles:

Sad to hear this. He was a genius. Saw him live a few times, once in my 20s and then in 2017 in the Pet Sounds Tour at Liverpool Exhibition Centre. Brilliant and moving www.theguardian.com/music/2025/j...

Genocide is not normal. They are trying to tell you it is. Genocide is never acceptable. They are trying to make you accept it. Keep speaking up for Palestine. They can't silence you.

It would be helpful if the headline pointed out it was actually Rishi Sunak who dropped this in 2023

Very excited to be seeing Making It @royalcourtliv.bsky.social today with the brilliantly funny Cath Rice & Andrew Schofield!! Directed by the equally fabulous Stephen Fletcher liverpoolsroyalcourt.com/main_stage/m...

Excellent piece by @mattgarrahan.bsky.social on the battle over whether London's parks should be used for festivals - with an engagingly honest last line:

Despite swearing otherwise just months ago, Republicans have now revealed their plan to take Medicaid away from millions of Americans. There has to be accountability - for the harm and for the lies.

“They (Reform UK) voted against •stronger SSP • the right to guaranteed hours • protection from unfair dismissal • stronger protections for pregnant mothers • a package worth £600 for poorest workers.. We’re backing British workers, they vote against them at every turn” PM Keir Starmer #PMQS 👏

Fabulous sunny day at Oxton's Secret Gardens 2025. Lovely plants, flowers, trees, rockeries, grasses...stunning. My favourite moments: Aphrodite (Venus) at the bottom of the garden, a pink rhododendron & the famous Oxton folly #garden #flowers #Oxton

Chicago is on to something.
